Czech-based be3Dprinters has established a US office for major push into the American market.

be3Dprinters is one of the numerous regional European 3D printer companies we’ve seen - but that’s the issue: they’re regional. We’ve seen 3D printers from Britain, Finland, Spain, Italy, Germany, The Netherlands, Russia and other Euro-nations. Few seem to have the ability reach beyond their natural home.

Apparently that isn’t the case with be3Dprinters, who have set up shop in Silicon Valley, California with staff, “who are responsible for the development, production and sale.”

Having two capable 3D printers able to address two entirely different markets is a good thing. The concern we’d have is the heated chamber on the DeeRed, which could be interpreted by Stratasys as infringing their patent. Stratasys has previously launched lawsuits against companies they feel were infringing. be3Dprinters must proceed carefully here.

Kerry Stevenson, aka "General Fabb" has been writing Fabbaloo posts since he launched the venture in 2007, with an intention to promote and grow the incredible technology of 3D printing across the world. So far, it seems to be working!

Fabbaloo is a daily online publication focusing on the 3D print and additive manufacturing industries. We provide deeper analysis of developments in current and future technologies as well as corporate matters. If there’s something happening in 3D technologies, especially FDM, SLA, SLS and Stereolithography, we’ll have an opinion about it.
